They're going nowhere. Emerging teams smash opposition teams. They scrap their way to wins. Adelaide would have to be one of the more underwhelming teams on paper.

McDonald, Corr, Tucker and Stephens all deserved to be dropped imo. All of them. Yet, after the trainwreck of last weekend, we couldn't even muster the strength to move one of them on. Not one. If we're not making a statement on the field - at least make a statement off the field...

What are they experienced at?

She ain't been roses last few years granted but the straw that breaks the Camel's back? A touch dramatic? Like the fate of a Club's that's been around for 155 years is going to come down to picking one 18 year old kid with pimples over another 18 year old kid with pimples? How about we give it a...

Eddie's a menace that's for sure. A deadset pest but the lad can seriously play. He'll be at the pointy end of pulling us out of this morass.

Yep. Carey also had a group of talented young players entering their 4th and 5th years with him - which meant less need to play older players for the sake of it. Because of that, Pagan was prepared to overlook ageing guns like Larkin, German and Ross Smith. Despite Clarkson being worse off, he...

Pretty big limb you're going out on after one game. Pretty ballsy. Good luck.

C'mon Nate. Don't you tumble in. We could have Clarko on PCP - and it would make no difference. Your rat power comes from your senior guys and apart from Larkey, you can scream as much as you want at them but it won't make them play any better. Most of them are barely VFL standard.

Clarko's been loyal to his senior guys all his coaching career but that loyalty is biting him badly here. The equation is pretty simple. He either persists with the non-performing senior players and completely demoralises the younger players or he cuts the cord and moves on from them. It's...

We've all become little worry warts. We have a four time premiership coach in our midst. Only a handful of men in the history of the game can boast that. You might fluke one but not four. People go on about his playing list. Sure it was good. Name a premiership team without gun players...

Good luck to Biggie. Given his athletic profile - enjoy his upside and excuse his mistakes. Whatever he does, it will be more impactful than a half a dozen of his senior teammates.

Not sure MM. I think they're comfortably one of the most talented teams going around. They've got good players on all lines. They've lost that manic pressure. I think Bevo's outstayed his time.

No dripping wet kid there. Finally, we'll get to ask some questions of opposition defences.

Tick, tick, tick, Patiently waiting for one of those wizz bang North Media videos where Clarko announces Sellers is making his debut this week. Tick, tick, tick

Hey Hojy, at least I got it. It appears we're seriously outnumbered by millennials.

Doesn't really matter. Opposition supporters are always confused and angry.

Spot on. There's another aspect - your leaders also need to impact on the field through their talent/skill. It's one of the main things that demoralises oppositions when your leaders are your better players and are controlling games. It's one of my key gripes with the Club. Since Carey and...

You would have watched a bit of Will Phillips as a junior? On the footage I've seen, he looked pretty manic as a kid. I appreciate his physical attributes haven't translated at the highest level, but do you think he is as manic in games now as he was as a kid?

Despite Beatson's confidence, drive is really an intangible that can't be accurately measured in 18 year olds though. You can have psychologists profiling as much as you want but with human beings you'll never know until they're in the environment and under stress. George Wardlaw clearly has...

Team's broken TPA not the Club.

I listened. What's your point? Half the guys getting a game now would be flattered with that description.

I thought it was a certainty Comben would come in last week. I now reckon it's a certainty that Sellers will come in against the Cats. One of our glaring weaknesses is we don't ask enough questions of opposition defences and playing Larkey one out is living proof of that. Madness in a can...

Good, thanks Unc. You've just walked me to my second hobby horse. If you don't impact games - you don't get a game regardless of seniority. The status quo ain't working. There's a reason why Clubs have a list of 44 odd players.

He needs to be the player that gets his hands dirty particularly in CBA's and around stoppages. He's shown he can get busy in traffic. I don't really care about what he can't do as long as he's value adding by complimenting the others.

I'm not a Hugh fan. The game's passed him by. The fact that he has a go is no justification for giving him a game. It's okay if you have a group of heavy lifters compensating for his shortcomings as a player. We don't have those players - so we're just wasting time. I'm sick to death of...

A lot of potatoes in there. Are you hungry?

Other harder bodies to be rotated through if protection is your bag. Zurhaar comes to mind. Developing younger players is more my bag - particularly over guys who'll struggle to see out the year.

I'm not sure I get it. Two old past it stagers are getting games not because the young blokes are letting down the side down but because the senior blokes are. The non performing senior guys should be paying the price.

What's completely lost in the push for WCE to get assistance - is the coaching situation. Are the players really that bad or has the coach lost them? Virtually no analysis on that front.
